Automata Rare Earth

Formerly Cullinan Metals (copper, graphite, lithium). April 2026 optioned Oculus (Labrador REE) and Burnt Pond (Newfoundland VMS). June rebrand to Automata Rare Earth / CSE:AREE. The ticker did the work a resource has not.

Name-and-ticker swap, not a recap. No consolidation with the June rebrand. Optionor can take up to 19.99% on earn-in issuances.

Mine / project

Flagship

Oculus REE (Labrador) — option; Burnt Pond VMS (NL) is copper

Location

Central Labrador (~2,550 ha); Burnt Pond, Newfoundland (~975 ha) · Canada (NL / Labrador)

Deposit

Alkaline / Letitia Lake–Red Wine suite (Oculus); VMS (Burnt Pond)

Resource

No MRE. No holes at Oculus. Historical surface chips to 5.67% and 4.55% TREO; nine samples >1% TREO. HREO in those >1% chips ranges 3–41%, averages ~11% — not an HREE deposit. Partridge River is a 1977 thorium showing; REE assays start in 2010–11 assessment reports. Burnt Pond is Noranda-era VMS (Cu-Zn-Pb-Ag), not rare earths.

NdPr / MagREO

Website markets NdPr/Dy/Tb for defense and robotics. The rocks have not been drilled. Do not score MagREO on a grab.

Radioactivity

Moderate — typical monazite / carbonatite

No basket. TREO in a grab sample is not payable, and it is not a multiple.

Capital, loans, grants & support

Earn-in: C$675k cash + C$700k spend + up to 5.25m shares over three years; 2% NSR (1% buyback C$1m/project). CSE reserved 8.6m against 10.4m out. Treasury vs the option is the tell.

    The Pulse

    The clearest REE rebrand on the tape. April option on Oculus. June name-and-ticker swap to Automata / AREE. August drill-permit filing is Burnt Pond — copper VMS, not rare earths. Oculus is still historical chips in a Th district. Classic OTC theme adoption. Kept so the CMTNF grab does not fool the desk.

    CSE:AREE + OTCQB:CMTNF + FSE:7K0. ~10.4m out, ~19m FD, last C$0.18 / ~US$0.13. Some US feeds still print Pink. There is no Nasdaq path. A $4 bid is a reverse-split fantasy on a 1k-share tape.

    Nasdaq path

    Home listing is not Nasdaq. Bid price, registration, and a real asset gate are.

    1. 01 · DoneCSE listing10 Jun 2026

      Primary listing flipped CMT → AREE on 10 June 2026 with the name change. No consolidation.

    2. 02 · LiveOTCQB (CMTNF)

      Company still prints OTCQB:CMTNF. Some US feeds show Pink. Last ~US$0.13 on a 1k-share tape. Treat the US market as a leftover ticker, not a path.

    3. 03 · GapDTC eligibility

      Do not assume DTC on a name this thin. A failed ticket is the tell.

    4. 04 · GapUS holder tape

      The CMTNF grab is why this is on watchlists. Holders bought a rebrand, not a resource.

    5. 05 · NextOculus confirmation / first holes1 Dec 2026

      Historical chips to 5.67% TREO, no drilling. Burnt Pond permits are copper VMS. Pulse is Oculus metres, not a Newfoundland zinc hole.

    6. 06 · GapSEC registration

      No 20-F / 40-F. A Labrador option does not get Exchange Act registered.

    7. 07 · GapNasdaq $4 bid

      AREE C$0.18 / CMTNF ~US$0.13. ~30× below. Reverse-split math on 10.4m shares is how this category dies.

    8. 08 · GapNasdaq application

      Not a path. This is the desk’s labeled example of REE ticker-adoption. Do not uplist a grab sample.
